To celebrate 100 years of insulin- one of my favourite venomous creature facts. The cone snail releases venom containing fast acting insulin into the water to catch its prey. It’s amazing. Take a look! bit.ly/32eV5lt

This #GivingTuesday we celebrate our amazing supporters who transform lives. Clare Silverwood on why she cycled from London to Brighton in ’25. “The scholarship fund supports talented students from less advantaged backgrounds to grow into public health leaders.”

Meet the HeroRATs — trained African giant pouched rats that detect tuberculosis in just 3 seconds using their powerful sense of smell. Fast, accurate, and life-saving.

I congratulate the government and people of #Kenya on the elimination of human African trypanosomiasis or sleeping sickness. Kenya joins the growing rank of countries freeing their populations of sleeping sickness, and bringing Africa one step closer to being free from neglected tropical diseases!

Le #ClycloneChido🌀 a affecté environ 45 000 personnes dans le sud et le centre du #Malawi🇲🇼. Six centres de santé ont été endommagés, entraînant des pertes de fournitures médicales. Pour soutenir les efforts des autorités sanitaires, @WHO a déployé des premiers intervenants au Centre national des opérations d'urgence à Blantyre et dans les districts touchés.

An extraordinarily strong lesson on the importance of good science, critical thinking, and being truly objective. The damage done to trust and to patients by the hydroxycholoroquine debacle should never be repeated. Would love to know the reasons for retraction.

The 🇷🇼 Marburg team just published in @NatureMedicine work on genomic analysis revealing an outbreak characterized by limited genetic variation, consistent with single zoonotic (🦇) transmission event and limited human-to-human transmission. Read here: rdcu.be/d3HxV

Super @RIPL_Porton session highlighting some important take home points for general physicians. Updates on diagnosing imported infections and a reminder of unusual/emerging endemic infections in the U.K. Masses of thanks to all who joined in.

Good news stories in global health don’t get as much coverage as the failures. We should all take a moment to congratulate Rwanda for how they’ve managed this outbreak to date. This piece is a great summary of where things stand with Marburg in Rwanda 👇 npr.org/sections/goats…

125 years after, it is a pleasure to be teaching on #ChildhoodTB @LSHTM's flagship #Diploma in #TropicalMedicine & #Hygiene (DTM&H) course! This year, we have more than 75 students from 21 different countries! 👏👏🤟 @ClareWarrell @LSHTM_TB @LSHTMarchives

125 years on and thousands of doctors have completed their DTM&H @LSHTM & the course is going strong. It’s wonderful to see how the diploma has evolved over time, and continues to be shaped by the participants. Thanks to all who have contributed! Here is to the next 125 years 🥳
